Iwagakure joined forces with the Sand to launch their first attack on Konoha.
They only joined in after Orochimaru's persuasion.
The main objective
was to test Konoha's current strength.
And the only thing Orochimaru wanted
was to kill his teacher,
Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He had never been acknowledged.
He had been driven out.
These things were deeply etched in Orochimaru's heart.
Konoha.
Chuan Yu led the Uchiha clan members into action.
The only tricky part at the moment
was Chiyo, whom the Sand had sent this time.
The Uchiha had been suppressed in Konoha for so long.
They lacked combat experience.
Facing a puppeteer was even more difficult.
Chuan Yu, on the other hand, felt this was a chance to prove himself.
With two countries attacking Konoha at once,
he could make a name for himself by taking action.
All Chuan Yu wanted was to strike fear into their enemies.
With a formidable enemy before them,
the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa,
and the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki,
sat together, watching Konoha's situation from their command post.
In front of them
was an Eye of Sand.
It showed them the scene at Konoha's border.
This was one of Rasa's abilities:
the Sand Eye.
Both men were ambitious.
Everyone knew Konoha was prime territory.
Strangely,
Cloud Village had made no move this time.
Mist Village was out of the question, too.
It was currently embroiled in internal strife.
Ōnoki, however, wanted to capture Konoha
and then take the Land of Water.
"Konoha's forces are very weak right now."
"If we both send elite units to attack one flank,"
"we should be able to break through their defenses."
"Once we get inside Konoha,"
"the two of us can act together."
Rasa surveyed the situation and spoke calmly.
Ōnoki rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
He didn't know where Rasa had gotten his intelligence.
Though they were cooperating,
Rasa was only an ally providing support.
He still needed to be cautious.
Of course, all of this information had come from Konoha through Yakushi Kabuto to Orochimaru,
who had then passed it on to Rasa.
The Hyuga clan had been wiped out.
Root had been taken over by the Uchiha.
But the Uchiha had no idea how to fight a war.
For years,
they had only been responsible for keeping the peace in Konoha.
Now was the perfect time to strike while Konoha was weak.
"No problem."
Ōnoki clasped his hands behind his back and slowly rose into the air.
He left the command post.
Before long,
he returned with two burly men.
"To prevent Konoha's Anbu from launching a sneak attack..."
"I'll station another unit near the attacking force to lie in wait."
"I hope we can wipe out Konoha in one fell swoop this time..."
"Akatsuchi, Kitsuchi..."
"I'm counting on you..."
The two burly men dropped to one knee at the same time.
"Yes, Third Tsuchikage!"
Meanwhile, Chiyo, whom Rasa had assigned,
had already begun her attack.
Konoha's border.
The air here was thick with the stench of slaughter.
Countless human bones lay scattered across the barren mountains.
At the edge of the forest,
wolf shadows appeared from time to time.
Chuan Yu and his clan members were lying in wait among the trees along the defense line.
Karin was in charge of sensing.
Over the years,
the Uchiha had gone through plenty of training,
but this was their first real battle.
Glancing behind him,
he saw sweat trickling down everyone's foreheads.
Their sweat-soaked hands clutched their kunai tightly.
"Stay calm..."
"If you want to survive on the battlefield..."
"Don't show mercy..."
"Stay cool at all times!"
Chuan Yu had just finished giving his instructions
when Karin sensed something.
"They're here! Everyone, be ready!"
"Thirty people, ahead at your two o'clock!"
"Sand troops!"
"They're not the main force! They're at jōnin level!"
After hearing Karin's report,
Chuan Yu drew the kunai from his waist.
"They're a decoy unit sent by the enemy..."
"Stay hidden..."
"I'll handle things here..."
With that, Chuan Yu vanished before their eyes.
In the forest ahead,
the thirty approaching shinobi slowly drew closer to the defense line.
A figure suddenly appeared above them.
They looked up
and were shocked.
"When did he get there?!"
"Kill him!"
Chuan Yu had used chakra to hang upside down from a tree branch.
Seeing the thirty jōnin charge at him,
he reached into his pouch with all ten fingers.
He pulled out ten specially made kunai
and rapidly threw them toward every corner in his field of vision.
Chuan Yu disappeared.
Chiyo, hidden in the shadows, suddenly froze.
At the same time,
she had a bad feeling.
She whipped around.
Chuan Yu rushed at her, kunai clenched in his hand.
Chiyo was startled.
She jumped back to dodge the attack.
But that left her completely exposed,
along with the hidden Sand Anbu Ninja.
Including the thirty men,
there were well over eighty of them.
"You came out here all alone?"
"Young people in Konoha really don't know their place!"
Faced with Chiyo's mockery,
Chuan Yu remained calm.
He shrugged.
A hint of grievance showed on his face.
"Can't be helped..."
"Didn't you join forces to attack because Konoha is so weak right now?"
Chiyo gave a cold laugh.
"Exactly."
"So the intelligence was true."
"Otherwise, why would they send out a child?"
Chuan Yu smiled lazily
and gripped his kunai again.
"Then..."
"Let's give it a try..."
"See if you can beat me, a mere child..."
Chiyo's face turned livid.
"Don't get ahead of yourself!"
With that, she crossed her arms.
Blue chakra threads slowly appeared at her fingertips.
Behind him.
Chuan Yu looked over, his senses on high alert.
Two puppets charged toward him, wielding greatswords.
He flipped aside and dodged them.
In that instant,
through his Sharingan,
Chuan Yu clearly saw the direction of the strings extending from Chiyo's fingertips.
He also spotted several puppets hidden in the jungle.
As he fell through the air,
Chuan Yu hurled the Kunai in his hand straight at Chiyo.
"I've seen your death clearly with this eye!"
"Before absolute power..."
"You have no chance of winning!"
[ Ding! Captured a blazing quote! ]
[ Your ninjutsu has fused, inspired by this motivation! ]
[ Please name the fused ninjutsu after using it! The system will arrange a special motivation! ]
A faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Chuan Yu's mouth.
"Body Flicker Technique!"
In that instant,
Chuan Yu appeared at the locations of every specially made Kunai!
Raikiri charged in his hand, ready to strike.
The Lightning Dragon was already roaring impatiently.
The moment the Kunai reached Chiyo,
Chuan Yu moved!
Ten figures of Chuan Yu were enveloped in golden light.
They moved too fast to be seen!
Crossing paths!
Slaughter!
They darted back and forth among the eighty Sand ninja.
Time seemed to stop in that instant.
Their brains couldn't react in time.
The ninjas' mouths hung wide open,
their eyes bulging upward.
Behind them, a bird had just taken flight from a treetop.
Suddenly,
before it could cry out,
it turned to ash.
The hidden Lightning Dragon gave a low growl,
then vanished into the jungle.
At the same time,
the killing was over.
Chuan Yu calmly wiped the blood from his Kunai.
Then he turned and straightened his Forehead Protector.
Splurt!
Blood gushed from the bodies of the eighty Sand ninja behind him.
A closer look revealed
that their bodies were covered in countless wounds.
They were slashed from head to toe.
Thud.
Thud.
One after another, they all fell.
Only Chiyo remained.
Though she had used her puppets to shield herself,
she had still been gravely wounded.
She could no longer fight.
"I'll call this move Roaring Thunder Dragon Three Thousand..."
"Uh..."
"I really am a naming genius..."
